A
reporter interviewing A.J. Muste, who during the Vietnam War stood in front of
the White House night after night with a candle, one rainy night asked,
"Mr. Muste, do you really think you are going to change the policies of
this country by standing out here alone at night with a candle?" Muste
replied, "Oh, I don't do it to change the country, I do it so the country
won't change me."
